Looks like I'm adding complexity to an already complex project...

In the server move that I spoke about in an earlier email, I am now upgrading the OS as well. So I will be moving a 7.4.4 installation from a RHEL3 to a RHEL4 server. In the DR Guide, I'm a little unclear about whether this can be done with mmrecov or not:

"Moving, copying or using the NetWorker mmrecov command to move a NetWorker
server's media database and resource files to a different OS platform, even between UNIX by different vendors, is NOT SUPPORTED. The only exception to this is if resources files are rebuilt manually and the NetWorker scanner command is used to rebuild media database and indexes. You can move between versions such as Sun
Solaris 7 to Sun Solaris 8 or Windows NT to Windows 2000."

Does this mean that mmrecov CAN be used for an OS upgrade of the same type, but not for RHEL->W2k3 for instance? Or does this mean that mmrecov cannot be used for any type of OS upgrade? Thanks,

Greg
